David Zwirner

You might not have noticed David Zwirner’s first entry onto Western Avenue: a pair of nondescript—aside from their buzzy opening night lines—storefronts that debuted in East Hollywood in 2023. But it’s hard to miss this flagship neighbor, a white, blocky three-story building with its own billboard out front. A figure in the global gallery scene for three decades, Zwirner’s entry into L.A. was one of those big deal events for folks on the business side of the art world. But more importantly, it’s a big deal for Angelenos looking for standout art shows—and for free, no less. Like Hauser & Wirth’s arrival in the Arts District almost a decade ago, this is a museum-caliber space stocked with museum-caliber names, with Yayoi Kusama, Richard Serra and Josef Albers among the artists in the packed debut show.
